As part of this strategy, we are globalizing a number of our supplier relationships and optimizing our position as a customer-centric international organization, driven by innovation and digital models. In a customer-first world, having the right digitally savvy creative and media planning partners is key to our marketing maturity and interactions with our valued customers.”
